President Donald Trump pointed the finger Wednesday night at Democrats and the news media for the turbulent national political environment, on the same day explosive devices were mailed to the Obamas, the Clintons, CNN and other public officials.
Trump took no responsibility for the tone of the political discourse.
During a rally in Wisconsin, the President promised to bring those responsible for mailing the explosive devices to justice.
"Any acts or threats of political violence are an attack on our democracy itself. No nation can succeed that tolerates violence or the threat of violence as a method of political intimidation, corrosion or control, we all know that. Such conduct much be fiercely opposed and firmly prosecuted," he said.

Thats as benign as I can put it. A con man for President, a Congress full of Kochbots and a rubber stamp for money in the courts.

He always sullenly reads the statements when he doesn't mean it. He wants everyone to know it too-- "I have to read this because someone's making me say it."

Micro expressions when he first addressed the issue were smirking and amused. He loves that this happened.
